To configure a multi-segment sequence using the play list function
The ARB Sequencer mode requires waveform files with equal clock rate!
We assume, that a multi-segment sequence composed of four segments (Seg#0,
Seg#1, Seg#2 and Seg#3) is created and loaded in the ARB (see
segment switch to the output segments in the required order"
on page 223). The
required output order of the segments is Seg#0, Seg#3 [2], Seg#2. The instrument is
operated manually, the ARB generator is in active state, and the instrument output is
switched on.
The following settings show an example of how to configure this segment output order
with the help of the ARB sequencing function.
1. In the "ARB > Multi Segment" dialog, load the previously created list and execute
"Create and Load".
2. Select "ARB > Multi Segment > General > Sequencing List".
The "Multi Segment Waveform Sequencing" dialog opens. A new play list is cre-
ated and assigned to the current multi-segment waveform file.
3. Select "ARB: Multi Segment Waveform Sequencing > Sequencing Play List" and
use the "Append" function to add new rows to the list and configure the settings as
follows:
a) Id#0: Seg#0, "Rep. Cycles = 1", "Next = Next Id#"
b) Id#1: Seg#3, "Rep. Cycles = 2", "Next = Next Id#"
c) Id#2: Seg#2, "Rep. Cycles = 1", "Next =Goto Id", "Go To = 0" (creates a loop to
the first segment in the sequence)
4. Select "ARB: Multi Segment Waveform Sequencing > General > Save List" to store
the configured play list.
5. To enable the instrument to use this play list, select "ARB > Trigger (MSW) > Next
Segment Mode > Sequencer".
6. Select "ARB > Trigger (MSW) > Trigger Mode = Armed Auto"
